Appointment with the "Lady Station" Doc

So, today was my yearly.. I'm always a bit nervous about it as I have DES exposure (a hormone/medication my mother took when pregnant which has led to cancer in daughters born DES exposed) I also have had a hysterectomy due to two reasons. A football sized fibroid tumor...yes the size of a 4mo pregnancy! and precancerous legions on my uterus. I feel incredibly lucky & blessed to have been able to have my three children prior to the side effects of my PCOS & fibroid tumors. All seemed okay today, awaiting the lab results.My doc who I saw today is who sent the required referral to SOBC where I had my lap band surgery done and this was the first time I had seen her since. The reaction was great! She asked a lot of questions and asked if I was happy with everything so far. DUH? Yes!!!! I lost 60 freaking lbs. for the first time in my adult life! So - NSV!

Got an hour of exercise today between cleaning out my horses stall and unloading and moving hay. That felt pretty good. Tomorrow I am hoping to walk with my mutt if it is not raining.

On the word of 2010 - PASSION front...still nothing (unless you count the exam today, lol) Although that wasn't the entire meaning behind my choosing the word.

I added a couple pics to the sidebar... Not loving the Texas shirt pic so much... but hey, I didn't delete it, I'd say it is Progress!
